Overview
Coffeehouse
Calvert Bell
plays Friday
The trio Calvert Bell will
be presented in the Perch
at 9 p.m. Friday by the Set-
zer Student Center Cof-
feehouse Committee, ac-
cording to chairperson
Bridget Kelly.
Admission to the per-
formance is $1, according
to Kelly.
The group takes its name
from the proper names of
the two young artists,
Craig Calvert and Vince
Bell, who formed the act in
the summer of 1979.
Peter Gorish recently
became the £hird member
of the group, Kelly said.
Instrumental arrangem-
ents of the group include
Calvert Bell
combinations of acoustic
guitars, electric guitars,
piano, mandolin and flute.'
Calvert was founder of
the Houston based group,
St. Elmo’s Fire. They per-
formed widely and in
various media, including
soundtracking for major
play and ballet produc-
tions.
Bell, who appeared at
Lamar as a solo act several
years ago, has a hard
driving, slashing style of
performing and writing,
according to Kelly.
Their performance
Friday should earn them a
whole new set of admirers,
Kelly said.

One of the most brilliant actresses the
theatre has ever known was Sarah Ber-
nhardt, “the divine Sarah,” the legendary
Frenchwoman who cohld and did play the
young Juliet when she was well into her
70s.
Sarah's astounding success as an ac-
tress was owing in part to her dedication
to whatever role she was playing. She
literally became the part she played.
In later life, when she had lost a leg to
amputation, she was still a commanding
presence on stage, playing her roles from
a chair.
In her 50s, when she was. playing
Cleopatra, she coated the palms of her
hands with terra cotta red as was the
custom of royalty during Cleopatra’s time.
“Why dye your hands when the audience
cannot see them?” her maid asked.
“Because,” said the divine Sarah,
drawing herself up to her full height,
“when I look at my hands, they will be
Cleopatra’s.”
It was thi* same role of Cleopatra that is
responsible for another anecdote about the
fabulous actress.
In seeking to find fresh talent to do her
billboard posters advertising her stage ap-
pearances, Sarah discovered a young ar-
tist named Alphonso Mucha.
He became one of her favorite artists,
and is recognized today as one of the great
poster artists of France. He created a
special poster of Sarah in her part as the
alluring Cleopatra, and adorned the figure
with fanciful, ornate jewelry.
Upon seeing the drawing, Sarah was in-
trigued with having the jewelry made into
actual pieces.
She engaged Paris’ leading jeweler,
George Fouquet, to make the ornate cobra
bracelet-ring in gold enamel, with opals,
rubies, emeralds and diamonds inlaid
upon the bracelet, which was attached by
jewel-studded gold chains to the ring.
So much gold and so many precious
stones were used in the jeweled piece that
Sarah found she had to purchase it in in-
stallments.
After each performance, Fouquet
dispatched his messenger to the Theatre
de la Renaissance to collect money from
Perch hosts
jazz pianist
Pianist Richard Collins will appear in
concert tonight at 7 o'clock in the Redbird
Perch, according to Bobbie Applegate,
Setzer Student Center program director.
His appearance is sponsored by the Set-
zer Student Center Council Performing Ar-
ts committee, according to Applegate.
Collins has attended the Julliard School
of Music and holds a doctorate in per-
formance from the University of
Michigan.
He has performed extensively in
Europe, and has received excellent
reviews from European music critics, in-
cluding those from the London Times and
from the Napoli Notte, Naples, Italy.
Collins has performed with jazz greats
Dizzy Gillespie and Joe Morello, and plays
a very well-defined style of jazz piano that
puts him on a level with the best pianists in
jazz, according to Applegate.
Collins’ program is a combination of
classical piano, jazz piano, classical im-
provisation, and humor.
He mixes musical performance with
conversation, illustrating his conversation
with excerpts from his own musical com-
positions.
The performance is free, according to
Applegate.

the receipts of the night.
The fabulous bracelet-ring was kept in
the actress’ jewel box at the theatre along
with several live garter snakes that Sarah
used during the Cleopatra death scene.
No stranger to American audiences, the
much-loved actress made not one but
several “farewell appearances” in this
country. Wherever she went, she looked
for fine jewelry and gems.
She was never without her bir-
thstone—October’s opal—and she said she
didn’t feel entirely dressed unless she was
wearing an opal ring or pin.
While visiting New York during one of
her tours, she had the well-known
American jeweler Louis Tiffany design a
silver mirror for her bicycle.
